INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

____________

LAMPS AND LIGHT SOURCES FOR ROAD VEHICLES –

DIMENSIONAL, ELECTRICAL AND LUMINOUS REQUIREMENTS

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 60809 has been prepared by subcommittee 34A: Electric light sources, of IEC technical committee 34: Lighting. It is an International Standard.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2014, Amendment 1:2017, Amendment 2:2017 and Amendment 3:2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) Introduction of a light technical measurement on LED light sources intended for use in front-lighting applications.

b) As the original data sheets and some figures from previous editions were not available in an editable format, they have been reproduced from their old format, following the current drafting rules and are now in single language format. Some reproductions constitute minor (obvious) editorial changes of the original text sections and original figures; no technical changes were introduced.

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

Draft Report on voting

34A/2232/FDIS 34A/2235/RVD

Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table.

The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.

This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document will be

• reconfirmed,

• withdrawn,

• replaced by a revised edition, or

• amended.

LAMPS AND LIGHT SOURCES FOR ROAD VEHICLES – DIMENSIONAL, ELECTRICAL AND LUMINOUS REQUIREMENTS

1 Scope

This document is applicable to electric light sources (see Note 1) for use in automotive applications, for example in road illumination devices and/or light signalling devices for road vehicles.

It is especially applicable to light sources listed in UN Resolution R.E.5 and light sources subject to other legislations.

This document specifies the technical requirements for interchangeability for example dimensional, electrical and photometrical characteristics, and includes test methods.

For the light sources listed in this document, the data sheets are contained either in this document or are included by reference to UN Resolution R.E.5.

Performance requirements are specified in IEC 60810, for example life, torsion strength, resistance to vibration and shock.

The requirements for miniature light sources for supplementary purposes, not subject to legislation, are specified in IEC 60983.

NOTE 1 The terms "lamp" and "light source" are both used in this document to mean the same product, so the two terms are interchangeable throughout this document.

NOTE 2 In various vocabularies and standards, different terms are used for "incandescent lamp" (IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-04), "discharge lamp" (IEC 60050-845:1987, 845-07-17) and "LED lamp". In this document "filament lamp", "discharge lamp" and "LED light source" are used, however, where only "lamp" or "light source" is written, all light sources, independent of the technology used, are meant, unless the context clearly shows that it applies to one kind of technology only. In the UN Regulations, the word "light source" is used for the products specified in this document.

NOTE 3 Wherever the term "device" is used, it is meant to designate equipment which is used as a luminaire. It can for instance take the form and purpose of a headlight or signal light.

2 Normative references

The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
